E None of the above.
The correct answer is E. None of the above. Fruit was a good crop for the Sacramento Valley counties of Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano because the climate and soil were favorable for growing a variety of fruits such as peaches, plums, pears, cherries, and apricots. The region also had access to irrigation water from the Sacramento River and its tributaries, which made it possible to grow crops year-round. Moreover, the development of railroads and transportation infrastructure in the late 19th century made it feasible to transport the fruit to markets in San Francisco and beyond, leading to the establishment of a thriving fruit industry in the region.

bro e is not a answer pick from a to d
I apologize for the mistake. In that case, the answer would be D. Because droughts kept killing the cattle and other livestock. This forced many ranchers to switch from raising cattle to growing fruit, which was more resilient to drought conditions. Additionally, fruit crops required less water than traditional crops such as wheat and corn, which made them a more practical choice for the region's dry climate. As a result, the Sacramento Valley counties of Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano became major producers of fruits and nuts, including almonds, walnuts, and citrus.
